Course Description
For information regarding the prerequisites for this course, please refer to the Academic Course Catalog.
Rationale
The purpose of this course is to give students a technological foundation that will be needed for a vocation in forensic Crime Scene Investigation concentrating on the specific area of crime scene photography. This course will teach students to apply the principles of photography directly to crime scene investigation and the digital documentation of evidence. Students will master certain skills that pertain directly to capturing evidence, and it will support students who are exploring fields within the legal justice system by providing an understanding of the what, why, and how evidence is photographed.
Measurable Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Describe the basic functions of the digital camera and how they apply to crime scene photography.
- Utilize camera settings such as aperture and shutter speed in combination with alternative light sources to improve the quality of photographic images.
- Perform successful photography in various environments overcoming various challenges such as darkness, shadows, and reflective surfaces while still effectively capturing evidence through digital photography.
- Apply the camera settings for close-up photography (macro) resulting in a clear representation of very small items of evidence (i.e., latent fingerprints).
- Explain how a Christian ethic can provide theoretical underpinnings for the implementation of forensic science and crime scene photography.
